Dr Penman also offers a range of gynaecology services, including: investigations into heavy/painful periods, cervical screening and insertion/removal of Mirena IUCD.
Heavy/painful periods are a particular focus of Dr Penman’s. He believes you do not have to accept heavy/painful periods as a fact of life. Dr Penman makes a diagnosis from your history, pelvic ultrasound scanning and blood tests, giving him a picture of what is causing your heavy periods. The treatment he can offer ranges from medication to various different surgeries (such as NovaSure Endometrial Ablation and Myosure myomectomy/polypectomy, and hysterectomy) depending on the cause of your heavy periods and the severity.
